Empire Down

From the Japanese version of "Vicious Circle"

We live in a land where justice is dying

The rich are getting richer

And the poor are multiplying

Seems like corruption's got us all in a vice

Yeah if think that I'm crazy

Then you better think twice

I'm watching the empire go down

Down, down, watching the empire go down

An innocent man is wrongly accused

A woman and child are badly abused

It ain't just a matter of who's right or wrong

'Cos who pays the piper

Calls the song

I'm watching the empire go down

Down, down, watching the empire go down

I see the end of the constitution

Word on the street is revolution

No I can't look away from this suffering hate

I think we're aware that it's much too late

All the good men are either dead or gone

It's time to be counted

Time to be strong

I'm watching the empire go down

Down, down, watching the empire go down
